WEEKS 5–8
TRAINING CAMP - PHASE 2
THE RULES OF THE GAME

Be sure to observe the following rules when performing the
workouts for weeks 5–8 of ATHLEAN-X™ Training Camp:
1. Warm ups should consist of a brief 5-10 minute jog, jump rope, high knee
drill, etc. to simply elevate core body temp. Static stretching before a workout
is not advised, as it will change muscle length tension relationships and is
better saved for after a workout (ideally before bed).
m
er as
2. When choosing how much weight to use, be sure to use an amount of weight
co
that allows you to complete the prescribed number of reps in good form. You
eH w
should find the last repetition of the set to require nearly maximum effort to
complete.
o.
rs e
3. If the last repetition is too easy and you find that you can complete at least 2
ou urc
or 3 more, increase the load on all subsequent sets.
4. If you are unable to complete the prescribed number of reps on a set, lighten
the load accordingly on all subsequent sets to prevent this from happening
o
again.
aC s
vi y re
5. Rest time between all sets in these 4 weeks of workouts is 30-45 seconds to
really pick up the pace and rev up the metabolism. Core exercises remain 30
seconds rest or transition time only.
ed d
6. Rep cadence should be 1-2 seconds on the concentric, slight pause, and 3
seconds eccentric.
ar stu
7. Perform all sets for each exercise before moving onto the next exercise in
the workout.
sh is
8. Perform all conditioning drills with the best footwork, and highest effort you
can for best results. **ALSO – If you don’t have access to equipment called
Th
for during a Tuesday or Thursday conditioning workout you can either repeat
one of the earlier workouts or use my Ironman, 4 Minutes of Hell (3 rounds),
Invictus, 300, X-pendables, Hurricane Headrush or other burst conditioning
workout from YouTube in its place.
And last but not least…
Remember—as the old saying goes—there is no elevator to success.

You have to take the stairs! By now you should be stepping up them
two at a time!
